This weekend is all about books and local specialties, however there are other things you could do. Let’s take a look at what HelloMonaco have selected for you.
In Monaco, books are meant to be shared. The Salon International du Livre de Monaco or the International Book Fair of Monaco will open its doors at the Grimaldi Forum Monaco on September 5–6, 2026, for its 15th edition, inviting the public on a genuine journey into the heart of words and ideas.
Bringing together local voices and leading figures from the literary scene, the salon, true to its founding spirit, stands as an ambassador of writing in all its forms: novels, essays, contemporary thought and diverse perspectives. Its rich and dynamic programme shapes each day through conferences, talks and discussions with the authors present at the salon.
Open microphones, intimate or public debates—every voice finds its place within a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
With more than 150 authors, 3,400 visitors and 20 conferences in previous editions, the International Book Fair of Monaco once again promises a moment of sharing, emotion and discovery.
Barbajuan – Demonstration and Tasting is organized on September 5, 2026 at the Condamine Market. Preparing the stuffing, perfect cooking—follow the step-by-step demonstration before sharing a friendly tasting.

On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the wedding of Prince Rainier III and Grace Kelly, the Prince’s Palace of Monaco presents an exceptional exhibition “Wedding of the Century”, dedicated to this internationally renowned event from 18 June to 25 September 2026.
This summer, the Prince of Monaco’s Car Collection museum is inviting the public to discover an exhibition dedicated to the evolution of the automobile, from generation to generation. “From Yesterday to Today” will be presented from 22 June to 13 September 2026, in the Collection’s mezzanine space. The exhibition will juxtapose classic models that have marked automobile history with their newer versions.
Through a selection of iconic models, visitors will be able to compare and contrast how cars from specific manufacturers have evolved over the decades. The exhibition will be presented in pairs that combine legends of yesteryear with today’s supercars.
In the summer of 2026, the Grimaldi Forum Monaco will host an exceptional exhibition tracing the unique relationship that has united the Principality and the automobile for more than a century “Monaco and the Automobile, From 1893 to the Present Day”.
